Do you drink alcohol? If yes, you need therapy according to your own statement. And so does every single other person on earth who consumes alcohol.

That does not answer my question? Have you ever drank alcohol (any, even once a year or a single time in your life)? If so, are you going to therapy?

Yes, but I don't use it as a "coping mechanism" and do it like a few times a year

Ah, so alcohol (which by the way causes 140.000 deaths per year in the US alone) can be consumed in moderation for recreational purposes but Cannabis cannot? How come?

Because it's a crime

Looks like you have finally got the point of this discussions. Exactly, it is currently a crime. What we are trying to convey is that it really shouldn't be.

It should stay that way. If it was plausible I'd even outlaw alcohol, but it's just too ingrained in human society for a prohibition to work. However, cannabis still isn't as broadly used
